New Visitor song, new amazingness

If we were to describe Visitor after seeing them live on Wednesday night at Goldust playing alongside Frankmusik and Erik Hassle we'd say this: Amazing.

If we were to describe them in nineteen words we'd say this: Amazing! Better than Erik Hassle and Frankmusik and in fact, they were the best band we saw at Goldust.

We were worried they'd just do 'Los Feeling' four or five times in a row, because before Wednesday that was the beginning and end of Visitor's repertoire as far as we were concerned. But we were wrong, they had loads of songs and they were all very good indeed. We reckon they're closer to having an album finished than the one song on their MySpace page had led us to believe.

The best new track of the night was 'Too Far Gone', and like 'Los Feeling' it's a huge eighties pop song which will make you dance but is also about a break-up. Dancing about heartbreak seems to be their speciality, and having heard more of their songs we've fallen properly in love with this band. There are so many 'boy-bands' around London right now doing the eighties pop thing and so few of them get it right - whereas, with just a handful of songs and a couple of gigs, Visitor have got it nailed.

Also, they're bloody brilliant live. Which helps matters.
